Effects of Methylphenidate on Academic Achievement from First to Second Grade.
Alto, Jennifer L.; Frankenberger, William
International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v42 n3 p259-73 1995
Comparison of 17 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder placed on methylphenidate drug therapy between first and second grade and matched controls found the methylphenidate group's achievement was lower both before and after medication, although after medication the group's rate of learning was similar to the control group's rate on reading, word analysis, listening, vocabulary, and overall achievement.
